Like all good things in life, the API has been shutdown. Well, I could say it was good while it lasted. But, let's be honest: it was a major pain. And even in the end you couldn't actually book anything; you had to finish the transaction manually. But whatever. Sweet sleep, Redbox API. Sweet sleep.

I got access to the Redbox API the other day, and I'm currently working on integrating it into a semi-automatic movie rental program. But, while no one can fault it for being in-complete, it seems that it's not developer-friendly. For example, it takes three, three, API calls to lookup a DVD and find where it is. So before I start heavy development on it, I decided to write a helper class. Now, instead of having ~70 lines of code, I can have four.
